Known for its stunning blend of Persian, Indian, and Islamic architectural styles, the city houses iconic structures like the Jama Masjid and the grand Buland Darwaza, the tallest gateway in the world. The Buland Darwaza, standing 54 meters high, was erected to commemorate Akbar’s victory in Gujarat. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Fatehpur Sikri reflects the grandeur and vision of the Mughal Empire and continues to captivate visitors with its historical and architectural significance.
